Clinical Trial: TMS + Exposure Therapy for Pediatric OCD: Second Phase

U.S., Oct. 7 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07859683) titled 'TMS + Exposure Therapy for Pediatric OCD: Second Phase' on Oct. 01.

Brief Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to test transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for improving the outcomes of Exposure with Response Prevention (ERP) in youth and young adults with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Researchers will compare two groups: ERP with active ("real") TMS vs. ERP with sham ("fake") TMS. The first phase of this study found that active TMS+ERP normalized functioning in brain circuits that contribute to compulsive behavior. This second phase will test whether TMS-induced brain changes lead to improvements in OCD symptom seve...
